Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Can a urinary tract infection be sexually transmitted?

Answer: Yes

Infections of the urinary tract include infections of the urethra, such as urethritis; urinary bladder, such as cystitis; ureters, such as ureteritis; prostate, such as prostatitis; and the kidneys, such as nephritis. These infections are caused by a variety of micoorganisms, introduced by poor hygiene, sexual intercourse, insertion of catheters, etc.

2. Herpes can be cured by the use of antiviral agents.

Answer: False

Treatment does not cure genital herpes, but antiviral agents such as acyclovir may shorten the outbreak.

3. What is the medical abbreviation for a virus that can cause genital warts?

Answer: HPV

HPV stands for human papillomavirus; NGU stands for nongonococcal urethritis; and HSV stands for herpes simplex virus. I invented GW.

4. How many U.S. chlamydial infections were reported in 1998?

Answer: 593,097

The number of chlamydial infections reported to the Center for Disease Control that year exceeded the number of gonorrhea cases by about 248,000.

5. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

Answer: True

Infected women may have no symptoms for weeks or months, during which time severe damage to the reproductive system can occur. Gonorrhea can usually be easily cured with deftriaxone, cefixime, ciporfoxacin, or ofloxacin.

6. Which of these is NOT a stage of syphilis?

Answer: Hydrophobia

First is a painless, primary lesion called a chancre; a secondary skin rash 4 to 6 weeks later, with fever and lesions of the mucous membranes. Next is a long latent period, which can be as long as 5 to 20 years. Then is a tertiary stage with damage to the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, visceral organs, bones, or sense organs. Usually, the damage is not reversible.

The disease itself can be treated with penicillin.

7. What is the incubation period for trichomoniasis?

Answer: 4 to 20 days

The average is 7 days. It is often without symptoms in men; therefore, if he is a carrier, he may harbour the infection for years. Trichomoniasis is treatable with metronidazole or tinidazole.

8. Many sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted simultaneously.

Answer: True

Often, a patient diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea will be treated for both diseases.

9. A pregnant woman with genital warts must have a Caesarean section.

Answer: False

Though often recommended, it is not always necessary unless the warts are very extensive.

10. Condoms prevent all STDs.

Answer: False

Although condoms may help prevent spread of many diseases, they are not 100% effective.
